Yury Velichko serves as Associate Professor of Radiology (Research) at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, where he directs the Quantitative Imaging Core Laboratory (QICL) within the Department of Radiology and Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center (RHLCCC). He holds key roles in the RHLCCC Scientific Research Committee and contributes to the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group as Radiomics Working Group member and GI Cancer Committee liaison, while maintaining affiliations with the Radiological Society of North America and Society of Abdominal Radiology.
His dual PhDs (2002) from Moscow State University and Nagoya University established his foundation in statistical physics and informatics, which he applies to medical imaging challenges. Research interests focus on integrating quantitative imaging, medical physics, and machine learning for cancer diagnosis and therapy assessment, with emphasis on radiomics development and clinical trial imaging analysis.
Recent publications reveal concentrated efforts in applying radiomics to diverse oncological contexts: predicting immunotherapy responses in lung cancer, standardizing MRI analysis for liver cirrhosis, correlating radiological-pathological responses in sarcomas, and modeling chemotherapy efficacy in metastatic cancers. These works demonstrate cross-application of deep learning techniques to solve specific clinical imaging problems while advancing precision oncology frameworks.
As QICL director, Velichko oversees standardized image analysis for RHLCCC cancer trials and co-organizes the International Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) challenge since 2012. His ECOG-ACRIN involvement facilitates integration of radiomics endpoints into therapeutic trial designs, particularly for gastrointestinal cancers.
